USPS to Close Wednesday in Honor of George H.W. BushUSAgNet - 12/04/2018

President Trump has proclaimed December 5 as a national day of mourning throughout the United States and has called on the American people to pay homage to the memory of former President George H.W. Bush.

Out of respect for President Bush, the nationís 41st commander in chief, and to honor his vast contributions to the United States during his lifetime, and consistent with the presidential proclamation, the Postal Service will observe the national day of
mourning.

The Postal Service will suspend regular mail delivery and retail service Dec. 5. USPS will provide limited package delivery service on that day to ensure that the Postal Service network remains fluid and USPS does not experience any impacts to its
package delivery operations that might negatively affect customers or business partners during the remainder of the busy holiday season.

All Postal Service facilities are included in the national day of mourning. Local managers will advise employees on staffing levels to maintain operations and prepare for the resumption of regular activities Thursday, Dec. 6.
